NFL's Tampa Bay Bucs, the MLB's Rays and the NHL's Lightning : We'll Pay to Take Down Confederate Statue ... In Tampa Bay



8/17/2017 11:43 AM PDT




Three major Tampa sports teams are pitching in to remove a Confederate monument from the city's courthouse in the wake of the backlash against similar statues in Virginia.

The statue in the middle of the controversy is the infamous Memoria en Aeterna -- a 106-year-old monument honoring the Confederate soldiers who fought in the Civil War.

Officials recently voted to remove the statue -- but only if removal costs were raised from private donors. The cost was estimated at roughly $150,000.

Enter the NFL's Tampa Bay Bucs, the MLB's Rays and the NHL's Lightning ... which just stepped up.

"Recognizing that this monument does not reflect the values of our community, in collaboration with the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, our organizations have dedicated funds to assist in moving the statue from the public space in front of the courthouse."

"Now more than ever before, we must stand united and committed to diversity and inclusion as we all attempt to heal from the tragedy in Charlottesville."

No word on when the statue will come down.

I can give you a pretty accurate idea of what Mattis will respond with. It will probably begin with a four letter word and end with either "you" or "off". Probably "off".

No one "presses" Mattis on anything, much less snowflakes.
 
Oldest Christopher Columbus monument in USA destroyed today

Just mute it and/or skip the bs

The now-destroyed monument is the oldest Columbus monument in the city — and North America. It was first erected in 1792 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival in North America, the Baltimore Sunreported.
